Honestly, M'baku desperately needs an add to his effect like "if summoned from the deck, +3 power" or something. That way he at least does well in the few situations he works.

This was a perfect showcase of all the situations in which Mbaku can be useful.

[@K0ndensation]

I love how he is free draw after the game ends about half the time

[@IceBloo]

Not really. He only ran him in one deck based on the assumption that putting him back in deck with lockjaw is the best way to use him. Realistically he’d be better in a Cerebro deck where you don’t mind playing him from hand but getting him for free is even better. 7 power with cerebro, mystique, and Blue marvel is a decent swing and one of the weaknesses of the deck is not being able to add power the certain lanes once you 2 power cards are on board by turn 4. Cerebro and mystique buff your existing guy but add only one power each assuming you have blue marvel out. If m’baku comes out he could fly to a lane that’s flooded by storm for example. The extra power can help and you can control where it goes by where you play mystique and cerebro to lock out lanes you don’t need to add power to.

[@superguy183828]

What if he jumped to a location that would win you the game (like a weak captain marvel)? Would that be fair / balanced? Too weak or OP? I think it would be interesting to barely win an almost tied game. I mean I've definitely only lost a game by 1 before. I don't think it would be a good card but at least interesting

[@jonathan45564]

I think that would make him less worthless definitely. If that’d make him Actually good is still debatable

[@SuperDanielHUN]

With 2 power I feel like it's still on the weaker side and you still gotta make sure somehow he's in the bottom 3, which wouldn't happen much outside of LJ decks

At 13:10 Regis has M'Baku in hand and passes the turn with energy and board space to spare rather than play him for 2 power. Poor M'Baku.

[@marceloperettikuhn4764]

Here for the Snap content. Down with HS. Love you, Regis!

[@TheShadesOfBlack]

If I ever get M’Baku I’ll be pretty happy with him in my Cerebro 2 deck. Jumping out for a free 7 power is pretty neat.

[@hadnoideas9615]

He could work well in a 1 cost zoo deck where if you don't draw him he comes out from the deck and gains the board buffs. Not great but probably the best he could be useful in

If you run a zoo deck in this game you usually fill all locations by the end of the game

[@hadnoideas9615]

@@shogunpug4071 You know it, would be drawn every game lol

They could give it an un reveal effect that when you play it double it's power and it goes back to the deck or it gets plus two power or something. This could make it very interesting in my opinion.

[@tylerburns277]

I feel like m’baku should of been a deck thinner like Chavez where u can’t draw him naturally and then he just jumps on the board start or end of turn 6

[@arkbeetlegaming]

I thought so at first as well, but after some more thought, it would make him too OP and became auto-include in all decks.

[@thaddeusgenhelm8979]

Yeah, having a card you *definitely* never draw would be pretty strong given how small the decks are.

[@leo_0989]

Hi nice video, Here a deck idea, what about m'baku in a cerebro 2 deck and with lockjaw to ensure m'baku to stay in your deck till the end? Furthermore, if m'baku jumps into lockjaw at the end of the game does he loops (i.e. from deck to location, to deck, to location again, etc.)?

[@yoldmate5450]

This is fantastic content

[@chainsawboy2388]

They really need to at least make him have more power if his effect actually happens, thing is even if you do get his effect 2 power is honestly pathetic in most cases

[@Trockenmatt]

He might be good in Cerebro 2? You just Lockjaw him away on T6, since that's a very valid play in that deck

[@bruttibler100]

having played him alot in Cerebro2, pretty sure thats what he was made for! although being in the opener isn't good, many of the cards are redundant, and every few games or so, he jumps out fully 'Bro-ed at 7 for free, gj lil' guy

[@TheFelixanimations]

he could work in a galactus play, a little extra power to the galactus lane if there's a slot open

[@93desousa]

They did say some series 4 and 5 cards won't be good. I'd still be pissed I pulled it from a cache

[@mrrrrniceguy9777]

That’s exactly what happened to me. I opened 38 collector’s reserves when the token shop went live and only got one new card - M’Baku 😭

[@QuesoCookies]

Weird. What did they say exactly? I don't see the point of purposefully making bad cards. Yeah, not all of them are going to be equally good, but if they're all unique and balanced for their energy cost, they could still get play as the meta evolves.

[@poptartin]

I play him in a 2 power Cerebro/Mystique deck with Lockjaw

I think for mbaku to see play it should add can not be drawn from deck. It’s 2 power so it’s not a huge issue to get it for free.

[@randomstrategy7679]

That would be OP. No reason NOT to include him in your deck because it just improves your draw consistency for no downside. If you give him that effect he would need negative power (ie: at the end of the game, he jumps out of your deck to screw you over unless you completely filled up every location)

[@9d7fish]

@@randomstrategy7679 taking into consideration some of the combos out there that can play 30 power at a turn or summon 6 7 power minions I think it could still be reasonable. Now maybe bump it down to 1 if it got that buff so patriot decks can’t abuse it.

[@randomstrategy7679]

@@9d7fish And you would include this buffed M'Baku in both the deck that plays 30 power in 1 turn and the deck that can summon 6 7 power minions. All you do is you replace your worst card (ie: the card you're happiest if you don't draw) with M'Baku and then since M'Baku is never in your hand, you can play completely normally except you can no longer draw your worst card. That means that instead of pulling off your OP combo 70% of the time, you can pull it off 80% of the time. And you also get a free 2 power at a random location on top of it. Literally no downside. Only upside. It would be a must-include in every single deck ever.

[@IceBloo]

I feel like m’baku might only fit in cerebro 2. Getting a free 2 power card is pretty huge when it gets +4 or +5. Even playing from hand isn’t too bad when it’s a 6 or 7 for 1 energy.

A normal game of snap has 9 natural draws out of 12 cards from your deck. That's a 75 percent chance to draw mbaku before the end of the game. Even with those three cards, you only reduce the natural draws to 6 out of 9 possible cards to draw. That's still a 66 percent chance to draw mbaku! You made the most consistently bad deck in marvel snap and you did it for an extra 9 percent change to get 2 power on board. Tldr: Mbaku is a terrible card even when he isn't completely useless

They need to change him. Something like 1-2, starts at the bottom of your deck + his skill. Means he will nearly always just randomly jump somewhere. People can use him to have higher chances to pull the other cards, but it's not that good.

He acts like a pool 1 card when he is not. They should chage it so that it has a chavez type ability wherein he will always be in your deck (if possible) until the end of the game where he then jumps out of your deck to a random location. It sounds op because of the minus one deck space, but he doesn't have the captain marvel ability. I think this is fair enough idk
